qBitTorrent (https://www.qbittorrent.org) works great on Mac.

I disagree. I was using that because it had RSS integration. Since then - RSS integration got broken for me.

Also there is something wrong with their scheduler/thread performance. Any time I add any torrents to the downloads, GUI starts to pause for multiple seconds at a time. At this point it's unusable unless you are willing to wait multiple seconds for any action that you want to do. I don't know whats wrong, but it shouldn't happen on Mac

Weird, it's always been fast and responsive for me - I haven't noticed any pausing issues. Never tried using RSS, though.
only worked a few times for me. tried a lot of different configs... was just always stuck retrieving the metatdata. Transmission worked straight away and has continued to behave just the same since. very happy with it!
I did use Transmission up until a few years ago. Forget exactly why I switched, but there was some issue with it at the time. qBittorrent has worked great ever since, and I certainly never configured anything more complicated than speed limits.
